I’m rather fond of the .45/70!
I have two. Both Marlin 1895’s.
One is a guide gun w/o ports. Other has 22” bbl.
I’ve loaded as hot as a compressed load of IMR4064 under a 405gr HARD cast bullet for 2,000fps but that is unneeded in the lower’48.
My favorite loads are either a RCBS 300gr RFN GC or a Lee 400gr RFN over a charge of #2400.
29.0gr with the 300 (322gr w/gas check). Or 20.0 under the 400.0
My 2016 “Remlin” w/400gr bullet over 20.0gr of #2400...
Three shots at 50yds! I reset it to +2.5”. It does wear a Bushnell 2-7x scope.
The 2001 mfd’ Guide Gun wears a 1.5-5X Leupold VariX II.
